I merged the two threads. Please do as PotatoGuy suggested and post questions in established threads when possible. Thanks!

Search seems to be out of order Nightwalker. He may have searched and not found any referrence.
I tried with ROSE, and COTTAGE and was unable to get any response other than a note to try again with no results.
But,Potato Guy came to the rescue.

This thread came up for me using both rose and cottage with no problem. Might have been down at one point but it is working now. :)

And heck, I was'nt even familiar with that specific euphemism (Rose Cottage) myself!
( it's in the very nature of an "euphemism" that it is'nt "common" usage! ;) )
Euphemisms are actually quite common, since they are used to "dress up" less palatable terms, most often dealing with sex and death. It's the time/region/social circle that can affect their rarity.
Speculating about their origins is always fun, though. Mine would lean towards the small, cottage-sized mausoleums of Victorian England (like those found in the FM), which would be decorated with flowers during funerals and visitations. Roses, being the most sentimental of flowers, would feature prominently.
As these became less common and the modern funeral industry developed, the term came to describe the destination of the recently deceased, the mortuary. Furthermore, it would be a term used by adults towards children who had lost a close relative. "Where are they taking him?" "Don't worry, he is going to the Rose Cottage."
North Americans, with a shorter urban history and broader cultural mixture (due to continuous immigration), never moved beyond the more prosaic "Funeral Home" or "Funeral Parlour". They are so unfamiliar with the euphemism, that the top Google search result (2009) is the website of a cheerful Bed & Breakfast in Alberta, Canada.
My Fridays used to be a lot more exciting.

AWESOME, just imagine the whole Thief serie with that level of quality...
What kind of threats could force Saturnine to do more ?
I did not find cards 3, 4, 9, and 12...
I know the list is posted a few pages back, bookmarked it in case I really give up.
(9's location has been asked for more time than 18's, it must be extremely... obvious :mad: )
I just want the general locations, please :D
PotatoGuy on 28/11/2009 at 17:39

3 - Thomas' study
4 - Hallway near dining room
9 - Crematorium
